Legacy

A Lasting Contribution to the Heath Robinson Museum

LEAVE A GIFT IN YOUR WILL

The West House and Heath Robinson Museum Trust receives no central or local government funding and is dependent upon income from visitors, fund-raising, donations and gifts. The trust is a charitable organisation and apart from our museum manager and learning officer, all other roles are undertaken by volunteers.

A gift in your Will can play a vital part in ensuring the future of the museum and helping to maintain this valuable arts, cultural and educational centre.

The West House and Heath Robinson Museum Trust (HRMT) exists to

Manage the first museum in the world devoted to the works of William Heath Robinson, one of the UK’s best-loved artists and illustrators.

Promote access to those works to inspire, educate and entertain people locally, nationally and across the world.

Present exhibitions, courses and other events and activities which add to the cultural life of Pinner and Harrow and support the above aims.

Ensuring family bequests before gifts to charitable causes

You don’t have to choose between looking after your loved ones and making a charitable gift. You can use your Will to do both, either by leaving a gift specifically after friends and family bequests, or by specifying a fixed amount as a gift before leaving the remainder to loved ones. Leaving a gift to charity in your Will can also reduce the amount your estate pays in Inheritance Tax.

Every gift, no matter how big or small, has the power to make a real and lasting difference.

HOW YOUR GIFT WILL SUPPORT THE MUSEUM
